Bolivian independence
Happy Independence day, Bolivia!  Which means no work for me.  Work starts tomorrow and kids come back on Wednesday.  I like this easing into the year thing.  Last week we only had three days of work, this week it's four, then next week we ramp it up to five!

Completely unrelated: I don't like whatever logarithm my Mac uses to bring forth "random" songs on iTunes, nor the randomness of photos when cycling through a set on my desktop.  Uh, is it actually a logarithm?  I just threw that word out there 'cause it sounded right.  But, iTunes totally leaves out songs.  I was looking, there are songs that it hasn't played in over a year, and other songs that I hear almost daily.  What's the system?  Dunno...

I know what you mean about the un-randomness of the itunes. I find if you always have the songs organized a certain way, i.e. alphabetical by artist, if you switch to alphabetical by song it will mix up the play list.

Oh yeah, happy Bolivian Independence!

Because I am the spelling/word usage police:

Logarithm is a word, but it deals with exponents (i.e. the logarithm of 100 to the base 10 is 2). The word you're looking for is algorithm, which deals with how a computer (or person) figures out a problem step-by-step. Don't say I never learned you anything ;)

Another friend was recently lamenting the iTunes/iPod random algorithm...maybe you should write them a letter?
